Rickie Fowler Continues To Struggle

Rickie Fowler heads to San Antonio for this week's Valero Texas Open in scuffling form. The fan favorite has struggled throughout 2021 and currently finds himself out of next week's Masters field. Fowler's troubles can be traced to his horrid iron play. He has lost strokes on approach in each of his last five starts […]

Daniel Hudson, Tanner Rainey Struggle Through Spring

Washington Nationals relief pitchers Daniel Hudson and Tanner Rainey, both of whom are near the top of the team's bullpen depth chart, both had difficult spring trainings. Hudson allowed three home runs in 5 2/3 innings while Rainey walked four batters in 2 1/3. Tiny samples, of course, and Rainey was strong in 2020 with […]

Erik Karlsson Compiles Two Goals For San Jose On Monday

San Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson tallied two goals on Monday as his team beat Minnesota 4-3 in a shootout.

Ryan Palmer Has Mixed Results At Valero

Ryan Palmer is set to tee it up in this week's Valero Texas Open. The Texan has mixed results in his previous Valero starts. Palmer has missed the cut in his last two visits to TPC San Antonio, but ran off a stretch of three consecutive top-six finishes between 2015 and 2017. The veteran closed […]

Mark Scheifele Continues To Excel For Winnipeg

Winnipeg Jets centerman Mark Scheifele has been on point for Winnipeg all season. Scheifele recorded two goals and an assist to help the Jets beat Calgary 5-1 Monday night.

Casey DeSmith Picks Up Another Win On Monday

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Casey DeSmith stopped 19 of 20 shots against to help propel his team to a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Monday.

Scottie Scheffler Looks To Stay Hot At Valero

Scottie Scheffler made an impressive run to the finals of last week's WGC-Dell Match Play. Scheffler eventually fell to Billy Horschel in the championship match, but it was a statement performance from the talented Texan. He'll try to stay hot in his home state this week at the Valero Texas Open. The 24-year-old posted a […]

Ivan Provorov Sinks Sabres In Overtime On Monday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov recorded a goal and added an assist as his team handed the Buffalo Sabres its 18th consecutive loss in overtime on Monday night.

Tony Finau Headlines Valero Texas Open

With Dustin Johnson withdrawal, Tony Finau has become one of the top fantasy options in this week's Valero Texas Open. Finau has looked sluggish in his last two starts, early exits from both THE PLAYERS and the WGC-Dell Match Play. However, he's had an otherwise spectacular 2021, posting three consecutive runner-up finishes at one point. […]

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday had a strong performance on both ends of the floor in his return to action on Monday. Holiday scored 24 points with seven assists, four rebounds, three triples, three steals, and a block in 35 minutes. It was a vintage performance from the 30-year-old, who registered 57.1/37.5/100 percent shooting splits […]

The Milwaukee Brewers have opted to give Daniel Vogelbach a spot on their major league roster to begin the season. Manager Craig Counsell said Sunday that Vogelbach has secured a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. The lack of a universal designated hitter in 2021 will limit Vogelbach to […]

Kawhi Leonard Flirts With Triple-Double In Victory

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard filled up the box score in Monday's win over the Bucks. Leonard nearly notched a triple-double, scoring 23 points with nine rebounds and eight assists, chipping in two steals in 36 minutes. The All-Star forward missed all six three-point attempts, though it shouldn't overshadow his all-around solid effort. It […]

Josh Lindblom Will Begin Season In Bullpen

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Josh Lindblom will begin the season in the bullpen. He was competing for a spot in the rotation, but instead, Freddy Peralta has won the final starting job. The 33-year-old was just mediocre in the spring with a 4.66 ERA thus far in the Cactus League. Lindblom can safely be ignored in […]

Andrew Wiggins Delivers Strong Two-Way Performance

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins put in a solid all-around effort in Monday's win over the Bulls. Wiggins dropped 21 points with five assists, three rebounds, three treys, two steals, and a block in 35 minutes of a 116-102 victory. The 26-year-old has now scored 20-plus points on at least 50 percent shooting from […]

Kolten Wong Locked Into Leadoff Spot

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong figures to see quite a few first pitches this season, as he has hit leadoff in every game he has appeared in this spring. He will almost surely open the regular season at the top of the order against right-handed starters, and he may do the same against southpaws, […]

Nikola Vucevic Scores Efficient 21 Points In 27 Minutes

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic enjoyed another efficient scoring performance in his second game with his new team. After dropping 21 points on 56.3 percent shooting in his debut, Vucevic poured in another 21 points on Monday, making 9 of 13 shot attempts from the field, rounding out his line with nine rebounds, six assists, […]

Freddy Peralta Earns Spot In Rotation For Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Freddy Peralta has been named the Brewers' fifth starter to begin the regular season, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Peralta made just one start for the Brewers last year, but he'll begin the year in the rotation after a strong spring performance. The right-hander has made three Cactus League appearances (one start), […]

Stephen Curry Goes Off For 32 Points And Six Threes In Return

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry made a statement in his return from a tailbone injury on Monday night. After missing five games, Curry looked pretty darn good in his return, draining 6 of 14 shots from beyond the arc for 18 of his game-high 32 points. The superstar guard added six assists, five rebounds, […]

Christin Stewart To Begin Season At Triple-A

Detroit Tigers outfielder Christin Stewart was optioned to Triple-A Toledo earlier this month. Stewart has split his past three years primarily between Triple-A and the Tigers. He's shown some significant power upside at Triple-A. Over 125 games with Toledo in 2018, he mashed 25 home runs and had a .488 slugging percentage. Stewart appeared in […]

Gabriel Vilardi Extends Point Streak To Three Games

Los Angeles Kings center Gabriel Vilardi posted an assist on the team's only goal in Monday's 4-1 loss to Vegas, combining with Jeff Carter to help Matt Roy get a goal. Big things were expected from Vilardi this season after he impressed with seven points in 10 games last season to start his NHL career, […]

Isaiah Hartenstein Pulls Down 14 Rebounds In Cavaliers' Debut

Cleveland Cavaliers center Isaiah Hartenstein made his debut with his new team on Monday and was pretty impressive considering his opponent.

JaCoby Jones Struggling Through Spring Action

Detroit Tigers outfielder JaCoby Jones has had a rough spring training so far. Over 42 at-bats, he's slashing .119/.213/.286 with two home runs and 14 strikeouts. Jones figures to open the year as the Tigers' starting center fielder, but he has more competition for playing time this year than he did last year. The Tigers […]

Donovan Mitchell Stuffs The Stat Sheet In Just 25 Minutes

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell filled up the box score in just 25 minutes of a 114-75 win over the Cavaliers on Monday.
